I receive your "Ouch" with openness and curiosity.

I receive your "Oops" with acceptance and empathy.

I offer my "Ouch" with hope and trust.

I offer my "Oops" with humility and courage.

I release my "Ouch" with immeasurable faith.

I release my "Oops" with purpose.

I release your "Ouch" with promise.

I release your "Oops" with my eyes and heart open.
